Telnet is a protocol for bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication with remote hosts via virtual terminals. It is defined in [RFC 854](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc854). Telnet provides not inherent security and so is becoming less commonly support. On modern UNIX-like systems it is usually replaced with more secure and flexible [SSH](/tags/ssh/info) protocol.
